Paul Yarde recently concluded his eighth season as an assistant coach with the Adelphi University women's soccer team in 2023.

Since teaming up with Brooke DeRosa, Yarde's tutelage has helped deliver eight winning seasons, five NCAA Tournament bids, three appearances in the NE10 Championship final, an NE10 Tournament crown in 2015, and even most notably, an NCAA Division II East Region Championship in 2023.

A coach and trainer with the Met Oval Brooklyn Knights and the Massapequa Soccer Club, Yarde arrived at Adelphi, after being a member of the men's and women's coaching staffs at his alma mater, Dowling College.

A native of Barbados, Yarde was a three-time MVP of the Notre Dame Football Club, the second-most successful club in Barbados football history, and still holds scoring records for the Barbados Defense Force.

Yarde played his college soccer at Dowling, where he helped the Golden Lions to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the Final Four in 2001.

A youth soccer trainer across Long Island, Yarde has personally trained members of the U.S. Youth National Team and coached the No.1 ranked team in the country in the U-12 age group in 2009. He also holds an Advanced National License from the United Soccer Coaches' Association and is CPR/AED certified.
